I have the following txt fil, I'm wondering how can I pars it and search for Cell And Engin words, what I want is to print out the method name that contains Cell, Engine words. the following is the txt file don't look at it as java code since I already moved it to txt file for parsing purposes.

@Test
public void testGetMonsters() {
Cell cell11 = aBoard.getCell(1, 1);
theEngine = new Engine(theGame);
}

@Test
public void testDxDyPossibleMove() {
Cell cell11 = aBoard.getCell(1, 1);
}
the output of parsing looks like: testGetMonsters method contains Cell and Engine words
testDxDyPossibleMove method contains Cell word

testGetMonsters and testDxDyPossibleMove are not classes, but they are methods. Are you sure of what you're what trying to achieve?

If the words Cell and Engine have to be Java types[^], as your usage sample suggests, there is no way around using a real parser that can parse the Java language. If the words can appear in any context you could go after them with regular expressions[^] making sure that the words you are searching for are delimited by word boundary characters ("\b").

This site can help you build a Java parser as there are already samples for the complete Java grammar: http://www.antlr.org/[^].

If you have any doubts or questions, feel free to leave a comment.
